  1. I'm interested. You'll get an email later today from me.
  2. Operators handbook, then workshop. I got the opportunity to learn from several veteran operators after reaching out and have found that very beneficial. One passed on a job to me as well. I'm not really one to give advice, I haven't been operating for long.. but the handbook has been great, and learning from experienced operators has been fun and I've learned a lot. http://www.amazon.com/Steadicam®-Operators-Handbook-Jerry-Holway/dp/024082380X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1417407446&sr=1-1&keywords=the+steadicam+operator%27s+handbook
  3. I'm selling my lightly used Steadicam Pilot that's been sitting in the closet for the past few months. I bought it new on May 8th from BH and used it a few times before purchasing a Steadicam Flyer. Since then, it has seen no use . It performs like new and is in very good condition. I'm selling to fund a big rig next year. Item Location: Newport Beach CA If you're in SoCal and you'd like to take a look at the rig in person, please ask and we can arrange a time to meet up.

  4. Willing to part out the motor, gears, and rail inserts? If so, I'm very interested.
  5. I actually ended up ordering one, but had an inquiry about the transaction invoice.. After no response for a while, I canceled my order (which actually never went through) and bought a preston. I'm bummed though, was hoping I could try out this new system.
  6. Hi dave, I emailed you a little while ago and have not heard back from you. PM me when you get the chance.
  7. Great price on a great sled! I've personally flown this, fly's really nice.
  8. Hey all! Thank you for the very informative responses and private messages. The steadicam community is incredible and I definitely feel very blessed to be able to communicate and network with the people who've taken the time to post in this thread. @Robert, I'm glad your workshops are still popular and you have a big waiting list. This is encouraging, the art of steadicam is still alive and there's still lots of interest in it! Hopefully I'll be able to take one of your workshops one day! I appreciate the advice and agree with every word of it. @Brian, I sent you a PM and look forward to your response. Hopefully I can attend a few practice sessions with you guys and learn from your wealth of knowledge. @Shawn, thanks for the PM. It was great hearing your story and opinions. @Andy, thank you for the contact info.. I guess I could have found that on the SOA website huh..? haha. I'll be emailing him shortly. ________________ I could use a bit of advice from some of you guys. A local op is selling his Master sled/arm/vest for 13k with quite a few accessories included. From my research, this is a pretty good deal, and will allow me to fly just about every camera there is. However, this investment will pretty much empty my savings. (My girlfriend's parents are willing to do a 5k loan as well) I will not be able to purchase a FF or transmitter if I do make this purchase. So what are your opinions? Big Rig with no FF or Transmitter? Or keep my smaller rig for now to fund a Bartech and workshop?
  9. Does anyone have the contact info for Jay Kilroy? I've been sending emails and making phone calls with no luck to get into one of the workshops. Thanks!
  10. Hello all, I'm posting this thread seeking help from local operators. I'm looking for an operator who has already done one of the 5-7 day workshops and is willing to meet with me and give me some hands-on training in steadicam.. I'll pay you 50 bucks an hour. I'm willing to drive, I'll buy you beers, lunch, ect.. I purchased a Pilot 4 months ago and flew it about five times before realizing I needed to more weight capacity. I currently own a Flyer, and have funds saved for an analog bartech (When one comes up in the market place here.) I am slowly making my way through the steadicam handbook. The tiffen workshop and Rob's stabilizer workshop have not responded to any of my emails, messages, or phone calls. I know a few local operators, but they've been busy and it's difficult to get a hold of them. This is why I'm reaching out here. Steadicam to me is a ton of fun. I hope to make a career out of it one day but I'm not exactly sure where to start. Or if I'm even wearing the damn vest right.. So, some hands on training would be very appreciated. I'm still waiting on dailies from over half of the productions I've been on, but I was able to make a short reel that I would appreciate critique on: https://vimeo.com/110113133 Even if you aren't local, any advise would be appreciated! I could go on and on about my story, but I'd love to hear yours. If you're willing to help me out message me or email: skw2288@yahoo.com Thanks guys -Chris Loh
  11. I operate a camera rig on films/music videos/commercials ect.. If it's anyone that I plan on holding more than a two sentence conversation with, I'll show them a picture on my phone.
  12. Anyone in the LA/OC area that would be willing to let me check out their RTMotion lens controller? I'm pretty much ready to buy, but I'd like to at least hold one in my hand before making the investment.
  13. Hey Alan, Sent you an email about your powertap cables for sale!
  14. Sebastian. Thanks for the great communication back and forth about the sale of your BFD kit. I'm doing a bit more research on international shipping and will email you again with all of the requested information so we can move forward with the purchase!
  15. Could you go into a little more detail on the camera work and how some of the technical things were executed. Did you operate the shot? It was done beautifully.
  16. I'll sell you a Pilot with a smallHD AC7+SDI and the necessary components to make your GH4 work.. haha, just message me!
